Yes, for my sins. I've played drums now for twenty one years, guitar for fifteen, and the spoons for three months. I also sing a bit. I used to be in a prog band called FREEFALL back in the 80's and I'm in another prog band now called TINYFISH (for my sins). |

I have very little patience, and learnt to play trumpet, tuba, euphonium, guitar and piano and made a mess of them all....however;
I am a singer! Yes! I sing allllll the time! ![]() Actually I'd like to pick up another instrument, but it seems to depends on what mood I'm in. Flute, sax, violin.... ![]() |

Used to play keyboards/piano when I was 8, and I took lessons for 3 years...then I promptly forgot them because I had no drive to learn. Then, in May of 2004 I picked up the bass and started playing thru the "Bass Guitar Primer Book" with Burt Casey. When I finished that I moved on to playing "The Wall" (pretty simple, really) and then the tougher "Thick as a Brick" bass parts (I never did get that last section down pat). Then I learned "Gates of Delirium" and "Close to the Edge," and started playing normal guitar only two weeks ago and I can already play Steve Hackett's "Horizons." Once I learn Steve Howe's "Clap," I'm gonna start a band. |

Ive been playing drums/percussion since i was 4 or 5. My brother started teaching me snare very early. I joined the school band from 1st-10th grade. I started taking drum set lessons when i was 8 and have been playing every day since then. I also play Tuned percussion Other instruments Gutiar - 4 years seriously Bass - 3 years seriously but the bass is my 2nd favorite instrument. I love jammin on it. Piano/Keys - My brother grew up as a piano player so i learned alot from him. A few things i can play are Close to the Edge by Yes, Heart of the Sunrise, Siberian Khatru, Some Mars Volta, a very limited ammount of ELP(its hard to follow Keith unless youve been playing seriously for awhile). I try to play piano @least once a day and use it as my main music writing Tool. Brass Instruments - I also have picked up some things on Tuba, Trumpet, and Trombone(trombone mostly)over the years. String Instruments - I taught myself Amazing Grace on the Fiddle a few years ago
Thats about it. Id also love to learn the Sax but i dont think its gonna happen. |

I'm a bedroom acoustic guitarist in the three chords or nearest offer sense of the word - I don't play much prog stuff though, more folk and acoustic rock. I can also manage a bit of gob iron and mandolin. My other half is a highly accomplished singer, pianist and flautist who can also play just about anything else you could care to mention reasonably well. We tried playing together years ago, but she gets frustrated with my limited, or in her words |

I am not a musician (just use a flute almost as a toy) but 2 of my sons are.
They play in a Heavy Metal band in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil (Veuliah) that is soon releasing the first CD, Deep Visions of Unreality! Download and listen to the song Black Spirit to understand why am so proud of them! |

I play drums, used to play Tuba, Trombone, Barritone horn. I fake it on piano and guitar but usually don`t kown what the heck I`m doing allthough sometimes I manage to impress non- musicians. My wife is an accomplished classical musician currently working on her Doctorate. She specializes in sackbut and voice with an emphasis on early music. I am currently jamming with a grunge band until they can find a full- time drummer. I`m 43 years young and the second oldest member of the band is the 19 year old female bass player/vocalist.

I sing a bit, play guitar and am working out some bass lines, however, I don't consider myself a musician, just a player. A musician has to have a certain command of the instrument, which I don't feel I have as yet.

I'm a pianist, (about 9 years), who plays a keyboard in a band I've started called 'The Passive-Fist'! Like the name? I'm learning guitar, so far I can play stuff like 'twinkle twinkle', 'happy birthday', and 'the simpsons'... all the classics... Really learnt it so that I could write stuff for it or transpose rather than to actually be good. |
